Must have a few fans on here surely?
Even if it's just the Vooligan brigade.

Their new single 'The Saddest Thing I Know' is out now

For those who don't know...Birds of Tokyo are an Australian alternative rock band featuring Ian Kenny from Karnivool as their vocalist. They have so far released two albums, 'Day One' (2007) and 'Universes' (2008).

They're also good live, there's a review of their London show on Monday here https://benfyffereviews.blogspot.com/   (Shameless I know)

Sounds pretty good - i'll be sure to check them out. I never got into Karnivool either so should probably revisit them.

They're a cool band but the pop influences are a bit strong for me. They have some very good songs though.
"Once he had forests and mountains that were only his - listening to him. Once he would run through the summer days catching memories for ages to come. Now he is dressing this naked floor with his flesh and blood, and time passes by. His trade of pain might just have lead him to deal with consequence for some change as time passes by"
